The LTC
®
1821 is a parallel input 16-bit multiplying voltage
output DAC that operates from analog supply voltages of
±5V up to ±15V. INL and DNL are accurate to 1LSB over the
industrial temperature range in both unipolar 0V to 10V and
bipolar ±10V modes. Precise 16-bit bipolar ±10V outputs are
achieved with on-chip 4-quadrant multiplication resistors.
The LTC1821 is available in a 36-lead SSOP package and is
specified over the industrial temperature range.
The device includes an internal deglitcher circuit that reduces
the glitch impulse to less than 2nV•s (typ). The LTC1821
settles to 1LBS in 2µs with a full-scale 10V step. The
combination of fast, precise settling and ultra low glitch make
the LTC1821 ideal for precision industrial control applica-
tions.
The asynchronous CLR pin resets the LTC1821 to zero scale
and resets the LTC1821-1 to midscale.
